This morning I recieved a telephone call from the Post Office at 7:00 a.m. to tell me that our chicks had arrived, so away I went to pick them up. Such a dreary cool day, I didn't want them to set around and get chilled. We ordered 150 chicks and they sent 155. They always send a few extra in case some don't make it in shipping. Chick like it warm, around 95 degrees, like me! As I took them out of the box I had to dip each one's beak in water to get them to learn to drink, and then tucked them under the brooder.
It's fun to watch them once they get their bearings and start to run around. They go full speed for a few minutes then suddenly stop and take a nap!
